Summary

The nature of cysts and solid masses in the pancreas can be difficult to diagnose. They may be benign, precancerous, or cancer. Current tests such as cytology (looking under a microscope) and tumor markers do not always give us the answer. The investigators are looking for genetic markers on biopsy specimens from the pancreas that will give us a better test for diagnosis. This study is only for diagnosing these lesions. The investigators are not treating any patients.

Conditions

• Pancreas Cyst
• Pancreas Mass

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	pancreas biopsy	patients who are already having a pancreas biopsy will be invited to enroll. After obtaining enough tissue for usual medical care, we will divert some tissue for the study.
